What about children at St Patrick’s?

Pupil questionnaires to children in Key Stage 2 to find out what their experiences of using new technologies and the internet were like…

What devices do KS2 children own?

By Year 6, over half of children own a mobile phone and over three-quarters own a tablet.

Nearly half of children access the internet every day

Over a quarter of children use their devices in their bedrooms

Gaming, Youtube/online videos and educational uses are the most common uses of the internet.

What age ratings are they exposed to?

• By Year 6 43% of children say they’ve seen an 18 rating film or played an 18 rating game

Our children’s experiences…

Many children across KS2 play online games such as Moshi Monsters, Minecraft, Club Penguin, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Roblox, Movie Star Planet, Xbox Live.

These are generally safe and are mostly aimed at children. They have report functions, although this doesn't stop them

being exposed to inappropriate language. Some games also provide support for parents to monitor children’s

content.

36% of children have spoken to strangers online and 30% of children say they have made friends with someone they’ve met online.

Our children’s experiences… Many children across KS2 either have or have access to accounts for

these messaging services/social media apps/websites: KIK, Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Facebook.

Whilst many of these do have report features, they are not aimed at children and do not have parental controls.

13% of children have searched for things they think they shouldn’t have. These things include: dead things, scary things, rude words, scary clowns.

21% of children claim to have been sent a message online or on a mobile which upset or bullied them.

26% of children say they’ve sent an unkind or nasty message online or on a mobile.

Our parental involvement…

62% children say their parents have talked to them about how to stay safe online/on phones/tablets more than once, with 10% saying their parents have never spoken to them about it.

45% of children have found things online which made them worried or uncomfortable.

Of these children, 18% didn’t tell anybody and 82% told their parents.

86% of children think that their parents know what they do online most or all of the time.

“Swimming pools are dangerous places for kids, because kids can drown in them. But we don’t ban kids from using swimming pools. We put up warning notices, employ lifeguards and, importantly, teach kids how to swim…

…teaching kids how to ‘swim’ in online space is crucial.”

OFSTED and E-Safety E-safety is not really about technology – it is about

people and their actions. Technology provides new learning opportunities – online collaboration, anytime anywhere learning and communication – but at the same time can provide additional opportunities for students to access material they shouldn’t, or be treated by others inappropriately.

Schools must therefore engage and encourage the contribution of pupils, parents and the wider school community.  

E-Safety Teaching E-Safety is no longer something that can be ‘ticked off’ by having a theme

day/week each year – it should be regularly integrated into our teaching all-year around.

Across the whole school, the final week of each term will include an E-Safety lesson, based on the E-Bytes Scheme of Work to ensure progression of a broad and balanced understanding of E-Safety.

However, E-Safety is not just an ICT focus - it

involves many elements of PSHE. If particular

areas stand out as needing more emphasis,

we will use our professional judgement to

tackle them as we would any arising PSHE issue.
